Janet Leach (1918-1997)
Janet Leach was active as a sculptor in New York, and later became a potter, learning at a pottery in the city’s neighborhood of Inwood.
To further improve her knowledge of the ceramic arts, she also attended a summer course at Alfred University in 1950.
During that time, figures such as as Yanagi Muneyoshi, Hamada Shoji, and Bernard Leach had begun the folk art movement, and Japanese craftsmen were in America for lectures. It was by attending such lectures that Janet Leach was introduced to and moved by Hamada’s works.
She also began interacting with Bernard Leach, whose influence helped secure her an apprenticeship at Hamada’s studio in Mashiko, Japan in 1954. Per Hamada’s advise, she also began training to improve her skills with the pottery wheel in Tamba.

Afterward, her relationship with Bernard Leach would become deeper, with the two eventually marrying and moving to the United Kingdom, where she poured forth full efforts to expand her studio.
For her sign, she created a triangular mark based on the three main concepts of “head, heart, and hands” promoted by Rudolf Steiner, a religious figure who she greatly admired during her time in the United States. She would use this sign throughout her life.
